Hehehe, I see things are heating up in here. Okay, let me enter the fray; I already said that I think whichever has more stock between XsX and PS5 is going to win the holiday season; BUT, I think there is a HIGH chance that MS will have more units ready this year, so yeah, I think there is a high chance that the PS5 will be in the last place.

It would be a major upset if Xbox sold more than PS globally. In the USA I can see Xbox selling more because of stock allocation, sure. Microsoft doesn't have the worldwide appeal to necessitate an even spread of their stock, so they can load up the USA.

In a hypothetical situation where both companies had limitless supply, Sony would definitely sell more units worldwide, because too many countries dislike Xbox. But reality will have limited supply, so the different distribution between individual regions favors an Xbox win in the USA while PS still wins globally.

I'm having the hardest time following your line of thought here. Are you saying that if Sony manufactures 4.5m units and MS manufactures 5m units, the PS5 would still sell more globally?
